What Now?

We started this blog with a simple goal – to disseminate information about the SCUSD and its relationship with VAPAC. We had hoped that others would read, add information about their school sites, and that we could build this to become a forum for discussing matters of concern throughout the SCUSD and its schools.

Unfortunately, we fell far short of our goal. But we carry on undeterred.

It seems, over this summer, that many are heeding the call and responding to postings, sending emails, and otherwise getting the word out. We believe that for our voices to be more effectively heard by those in authority, we need to expand our efforts. And to be taken seriously, we need to deal with facts and not innuendo. So, here is our modest plan:

(a) We would like any teachers who read or contribute to get their colleagues to do likewise about their school sites. We hope to traffic in both the positive and negative of this district so don’t feel that you need to complain to contribute… just contribute.
(b) We would like readers and contributors to send this link to their colleagues and other concerned parties. Let’s try to hear from all the voices.
(c) We would like to see parents and teachers set up blogs about their individual school sites if possible. Send us the link, and we’ll add it.
(d) Let us hear from you. We will strive to be more diligent about being current, but it’s difficult when we don’t know what is of concern to everybody else.

With the many charters coming up for renewal, consent decree high, the future VAPAC (if there is one), the myriad of new administrators coming on board and countless other changes affecting the educational futures of our children, this is a good time to expand our efforts.

All it takes is some concerned individuals. And a few keystrokes.

We hope to hear from you…
